New for 2019

The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe has been completely redesigned. The two-row model will now be called Santa Fe instead of Santa Fe Sport, while last year’s Santa Fe becomes the Santa Fe XL.

Trim Levels (Interior and Exterior Options)

The 2019 Santa Fe is a midsize crossover slotting above compact Tucson. A three-row model called the Santa Fe XL slots above the 2019 Santa Fe and will be in production for another year or so before being replaced by a larger three-row crossover.

Limited and Ultimate models are available with 19-inch alloy wheels provided you opt for the 2.0-liter turbo I-4.

Performance and Fuel Economy

The 2019 Santa Fe comes standard with a 2.4-liter I-4 with 185 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. A 2.0-liter turbo-four with 235 hp and 260 lb-ft is optional on the Limited and Ultimate grades. Both engines available on the 2019 Santa Fe come paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. EPA fuel economy ratings for the 2.4-liter I-4 are 22/29 mpg city/highway for front-drive models and 21/27 mpg with all-wheel drive; upgrade to the 2.0-liter and the EPA estimates 20/25 mpg with front-wheel drive and 19/24 mpg with all-wheel drive.

Safety

The 2019 Santa Fe hasn’t been crash tested by the NHTSA, but it is an IIHS 2018 Top Safety Pick +, with solid scores across all of the organization’s tests. The Santa Fe is the first Hyundai vehicle to feature the full suite active safety features as standard across the whole lineup. Called Smart Sense, the equipment includes driver attention warning, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lake keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, Safe Exit Assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop and go function.

Utility

The 2019 Santa Fe has 35.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row that can be expanded to 71.3 cubic feet. Diesel-powered models offer a small third row that cuts cargo capacity down to 11.6 cubic feet with all seats in place.

What We Think

In a 2019 First Drive, we said that with the Santa Fe 2.0 suffers from excessive turbo lag and the base 2.4-liter I-4 is underpowered. Throttle response is sluggish and eight-speed automatic transmission can get rough. Ride comfort, on the other hand, is good for the class even with the 19-inch alloy wheels. Handling, however, is secure but unexciting. Interior space is superb and is able to seat five comfortably in both rows with plenty of cargo space to spare. Material quality is excellent for the class and the infotainment system remains one of the easiest to use.

The Hyundai Santa Cruz concept first appeared back in 2015, and it didn't take long for Hyundai to confirm plans for a production version. The question was: How long would it take for the cool little crossover-based pickup truck to go on sale? More than three years later, it has yet to appear on dealer lots, but according to the…

WE LIKE Strong value proposition, spacious interior WE DON'T LIKE Underpowered engines, not much innovation With its polarizing mug, you'd think the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe would be more exciting than your average crossover. Unfortunately, it's underpowered and lacks refinement. Christian Seabaugh deemed the Santa Fe's ride floppy and bouncy, described the base 2.4-liter engine as coarse and grainy, and found the…

Recently, Hyundai Australia decided to have a little bit of fun and chopped the roof off of a Santa Fe to create a one-off seven-seat version of its midsize crossover. The car started life as a prototype for testing and tuning the suspension and was registered only for engineering use. That means it's eventually destined for the crusher. Hyundai Australia…
